If you:

* Experienced a mild photosensitive reaction to the changes in the last code push (however you define 'mild');
* Do not currently have any userstyle or custom CSS applied to dreamwidth.org and did not have a reaction to the version of the entry/comment page that was live on the site before the code push;
* Are technically comfortable installing and/or using Stylus/Stylish userscripts;
* Are willing to possibly get a headache For Science if our changes didn't work (and then disable things as soon as you realize you are, of course):

-- then please chime in here! We have a few things we'd like to A/B test with a wider pool of people who are more susceptible to some of the triggers in the last set of changes than our photosensitive alpha testers are, but we don't want to put things in front of people who had the more moderate or severe reactions until we have a bit more confidence.

I would like to help! I use Celerity in the default skin; I did turn the beta option for the site skin on, but I can turn it on and off as needed for testing. My reaction was immediate but very mild.

Photosensitivity is so weird! There is absolutely nothing about the new site skin that had ever been on my Makes Brain Weird list, and yet I opened a post in the new style in a tab and immediately brain = weird? Who knows.
